TM103 Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless Nickel (EN) plating is a process that uses a chemical reaction to codeposit it’s Nickel-Phosphorus coating onto a desired substrate. This solution differs from other metal finishing processes because it does not require an electricity source to coat the part. As applied, Electroless Nickel coatings are uniform, lubricious, easily solderable and highly corrosion resistant (dependent upon the phosphorous content of the coating).
EN plated parts can be post-hardened through baking to produce higher wear resistance than that of an as-plated condition. This combination makes the coating well suited for a wide variety of uses. The frictional characteristics of EN coatings are excellent. Their phosphorus content provides a natural lubricity, which helps to minimize heat buildup and reduces scoring and galling and which can be very useful for applications such as plastic molding. The coefficient of friction is one-half that of electroplated Watts nickel.
